The acquisition builds on strong momentum in SBT’s payments ecosystem. Over the past year, customers using Apple Pay and Google Pay through SBT’s FinText platform have processed nearly 75% of approved transactions through these alternative payment methods. At the same time, approved TextPay transactions have surged by almost 400%, as more consumer finance organizations move payment requests directly into messaging channels. These trends highlight growing demand for frictionless, mobile-first payment experiences.
By integrating TPP’s capabilities, SBT customers gain access to a broader and more powerful payments stack. The combined platform is built on PCI-compliant infrastructure and supports a full range of payment options, including ACH, debit and credit cards, and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Automated merchant onboarding through TPP’s Payment Facilitator (PayFac) program significantly shortens implementation timelines, allowing businesses to go live in days instead of weeks.

Beyond messaging, SBT’s omni-channel APIs now enable payments across multiple digital touchpoints, allowing organizations to orchestrate compliant communications and payments across their systems, portals, and preferred customer channels.
